CAS Birthday

Monday, July 22, 2013

Hi friends! It's Monday again already and time for another Mojo Monday sketch. This week's super sweet CAS sketch comes from the mind of Carole Burrage. We were running and going all weekend long so when I sat down to make a card, I knew I was going to keep it super CAS.

I used a butterfly embellishment that has been on my desk for a while, since it didn't make it onto a previous card. I covered some cardstock with chevron washi tape and then cut it with the All Aflutter Die Set and layered them together with dimensionals and added some rhinestones for the body. The flag is cut from the Flag It Die Set and I accented it with part of a rhinestone flourish then hand sketched a border around it. I continued the hand sketched border around my other panels, using the On Occasion set for the loopy border and sentiment. More of the chevron washi tape is used for the horizontal element on the sketch and I finished off with a white card base and some coordinating aqua rhinestones.

Verve's Christmas in July Sale is still going strong and all of the stamps & dies used on this card are currently on sale! There are tons of birthday and holiday stamps marked down 20% through the end of the month. Speaking of birthdays... only a few more days until mine!!! {grin}
